Stop video broadcasting of crimes

Rejected 18 signatures

What the petition asks

When a crime is committed, considering as an aggravating circumstance, if it is committed on purpose for video broadcasting. Too many videos, shared with modern technologies, show tortures to animals, violence to women and children, fights, humiliation, private properties violation and damaging.
Most of these videos show crimes. For most of these videos that we come across, we laugh, don't we? It doesn't matter if it is a live streaming or a recorded video. We are all equally guilty when we laugh, and share the videos further, instead of expressing disgust, especially with the family and friends that we have around. Freedom of speech is important, as long as it doesn't collide with laws compliance.
